I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

I got about half way through 11-22-63 some years back. I think King is just too much bloat for me much of the time or I need to be in a different frame of mind to read him. I've always said I'd revisit it, but I haven't.

I find the audiobooks good for long drives when I’ve got time to kill, but can understand you sentiment.

I did used to listen to them back when I often had a long commute. I have a harder time focusing on them if I'm not driving though. But that may be a better way to get into some books that aren't working for me. Especially if the narrator is particularly good.
